Has anyone seen this setup in NZ?. Not sure I would want a pillion using one. `If she needs to reach around and grab something to grip, I'm sure I could find something better

One of the race teams (Trashie would have more details I think) used to have a 2 up bike for taking out sponsors, and it had a handle by the gas cap.
Other option is straps you put around you with a handle on either side. Quasimoto used to sell them...

Screw having pillion on sportsbikes, its only there for emergencies. Nothing wrong with hands on hips.
Either way they will still headbutt the back of your new helmet no matter how smoothly you brake....

Juniper and Brian have this set up on Brian's bike (can't remember Brian's moniker for here). Works well for them.

We use it rather well. It's great for when you don't want to put unnecessary weight or pressure on the rider while in the corners, for more sedate riding or on the straights and commuting they can just use the bitch bar.
It allows the pillion to let rider move more freely in the seat. My only gripe with it is that the grips are horizontal and the natural resting direction of the pillions hands is usually vertical.

Toying with ones mortality shouldn't be this much fun.
